Video on the Quebec First Nations diabetic retinopathy screening service

Oct 28, 2016

We would
like to inform you of the launch of an online video produced by the First
Nations of Quebec and Labrador Health and Social Services Commission (FNQLHSSC)
in order to present the tele-ophthalmology diabetic retinopathy screening
service. Currently, this service is available in more than twenty First Nations
communities in Quebec.

The many
possibilities of telehealth are relatively unknown. To promote the development
of these services and encourage people to use them, it is necessary to
demystify them and to increase their visibility. The video shows a concrete
case where telehealth has enabled access to services.

We hope
that this video will benefit the actors involved in the implementation of
remote screening for diabetic retinopathy and we sincerely thank all those who
participated in this project.
